Hmm.

I fear that we're seeing the return of Arrogant Sony. There's too many things that they're starting to do wrong that is ruffling feathers.

£70 price of games.
No free PS4 > PS5 upgrades.
PS5 games also coming to PS4.
Spider-Man facial model recast.
Probably some other stuff I've forgotten about ...

I remember in the early PS3 days how Sony came across as expecting we'd all just buy it without complaint, owing to the success of the PS2. I feel the PS5 gen is going to be the same, at least to begin with.
Spiderman face model recast is arrogant?

Didn't now reflections made trees lose 80% of their leaves.

I think they do, I also noticed the ray tracing on the grunts and the high resolution shadows, notice how the lighting captures the trees sway and each leaf is perfectly gllistening in the real time weather effects. I was looking at the alpha effects and particles and was blown away.

You can see the reflection of craigs face in the back of the blue enemy with the cone on the back, if you zoom in 800 x you can see phil spencers face.

IGN's Justin Davis on PS5 hype(from the other place):

"1. PS5 Preorder guide is the #1 article on IGN of the year in terms of pageviews. And it didn't eek out #1 - it's closing in on being 2X the #2 article. It was HUGE. It also broke records for the number of concurrent readers in an article. Pageviews aren't a metric that's massively important to us - we pay a lot of attention to engagement, etc.... but still.

2. Like a lot (almost all?) media companies we have an affiliate ecommerce business. When someone clicks on an Amazon or Best Buy or Newegg button and buys a game or piece of hardware we earn a commission on that. We are required by law to make sure that's disclosed, and we always do. And every day we link to retailers we don't have affiliate relationships with, as those Buy Links are a reader service first and foremost. It doesn't impact or touch core Editorial operations in any way, and our ecommerce team is run separately.

So when I say "we sold" PS5s I'm speaking in shorthand - it's a conversational podcast where we all speak extemporaneously.. IGN didn't sell them - but we can see in our reporting how many people clicked on merchant links and we can see in our reporting totals of what was purchased on those retail websites from people that clicked on our links.

So yeah - on PS5 preorder day, we sent about 5x as many clicks from IGN to various online retailers as we did on all of Black Friday. That's an accurate ballpark stat. That's the "headline" IMO."

From the video, he personally believes it's much, much bigger than an iPhone launch, at least from the data that he has on hand.

Comparison video


jokes aside. nice video. i didn't notice the missing shadow in the scene. but it is a big deal. something i believe the dev will fix.

It also is a sign that this remastered version isn't a lazy remaster. they have touched a lot of things. though I'm still not convinced to get the game, i respect the effort.

We better find out something good about PS1-2-3 BC with how much HHG has been hyping this.

If it's just "Sony were gonna do x, but with management shakeup last year they're now doing y instead", I'm gonna be pissed.
 
:messenger_expressionless:

If anyone decides to create topics on his tweets, they will be immediately closed.
Why not just outright ban users who post his tweets anyway?

Lord knows this forum can use a clean-up of tweets from arse wipes like odium ?

I mean the cunt has on numerous occasions bad mouthed the forum and the mods here in his tweets so why allow his voice to be heard here?

Anyone else feel like we’re going to get PS5 news each day this week in the lead up to the embargo lift?
This is the weirdest most frustrating console launch in history. I have never been so anti-hype before for new consoles. At this point I don't care what Sony or MS does. They've both fucked it up.

We're a month away from launch and we still don't know the full launch lineups, system UI walkthroughs, special console features, hardware breakdows. FUCK ALL !!!

It wouldn't cost you a damn thing to record a video of some hardware or software engineers breaking down the system's features and uploading it to their official channels.

I could have a dick pick up on insta in a minute but who wants to see that.

We will see the UI before Oct 4th. No way they'll let youtubers get hands-on with the console without showing the UI first
Unless that hands on is hardware only, or if no software capture footage allowed.

Or Sony could just tell them to only show select game footage and/or hardware shots, etc.

Sony has don this before, where they supply all outlets with stock B-roll and put certain rules on what they can talk about or show.

We know everything about the PS5 that we knew about the PS4 by Oct 2013, except we don't have footage of the UI. Thats it.

It took them a while, but there's really not much for them to show/say.

We know all the specs of the PS5, box art, contents, prices, etc.

The PS5 launch lineup is 5 games from SIE. Astro's Playroom, Spider-Man Miles Morales, Demon's Souls, Destruction Allstars, Sackboy Big Adventure.

We have seen plenty of gameplay footage.

There are no special secret features.

The PS5 UI was described by Cerny in the Wired articles. I would hope we see footage next month.

Don't expect a teardown of the console from Sony until November.

the teardown will likely be in the same format as PS4. i.e. no more technical deep dive.
